Google Goes Across The Globe With New Mobile Payment App

To clear up all the leaked details, Google has announced its big break into the world of mobile payments across Asia.

Meet Tez – the mobile wallet in India that allows users to pay for products online or in store, by securing a link between their phone device and bank account.

But that’s not all Tez can do…

This nifty new feature can also process monetary exchanges between people via Audio QR, a feature that uses ultrasonic sound and rules out the need for NFC.

By creating Tez, Google aims to lessen cash payments and push new technologies across different parts of the globe. Tez’s tagline?

Send money home to your family, split a dinner bill with friends, or pay the neighbourhood chaiwala. Make all payments big or small, directly from your bank account with Tez, Google’s new digital payment app for India.

A spokesperson from Google confirmed there are also plans on expanding this to support other enterprises in the future.

Exhaustive Shopping Researcher Self can steer clear of Humble Bragging Social Self, and Super Professional Work Self can go about the bizness without worrying about being followed by those other two.

Cookies are stored separately in each container, so users can log into the same site without trackers catching them out.

You’ll be able to customise your tabs and colour-code them to stay organised and make sure your multiple online personalities never bump into each other.

This is just another way for the web browser to vastly improve and expand on its user experiences.

Google’s Post-Eclipse Oreo Binge

One day after August’s total solar eclipse, Google announced the final rendition of Android 8 – AKA Android Oreo.

This is what it does:

New process for ‘Add to Home Screen’ function in web browser apps

Variations in icons – every shortcut added from Chrome keeps the Chrome logo in bottom right

Feature that connects automatically to open access WiFi points

Notification dots

Shortcuts

Notification channels

On one of the new benefits of Android Oreo, Medium writer Maximiliano Firtman writes:

If you have a <video> tag now, PiP is supported in Chrome. I’m not sure it has the right UX now though: you need to open the video in full screen mode and then press the Home Screen. At that point the video will continue playing as a PiP small floating window that you can move around and close it.

Chrome 61 Updates

Google Developer Advocate, Pete LePage, took to the search engine’s ‘Updates’ page to tell us about what’s new in Chrome 61.

Here’s a small breakdown:

Now supports JavaScript modules natively, unifying the way modular JavaScript can be written
